“By the way, I understand that the value of Permit aircraft has increased significantly since the start of the scheme, as owners finally get fed up with the costs involved in running aircraft that require a C of A.”
I think it is more a case that C of A aircraft have lost value. The exchange rate has also had an impact on second hand value, with some LAA aircraft being snapped up at “silly money” as the Euro value was more than the perceived £ value so European owners came over to the UK to acquire aircraft.
